    Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do.
    But to hold it together when everyone else would understand
    if you fell apart, that's true strength.:heart:

    I love this one - any idea who said it?

    We delight in the beauty
    of the butterfly,
    but rarely admit the changes
    it has gone through
    to achieve that beauty.

    is an ever-unfolding work of art
    that tells the story of where we have been
    and with whom we have traveled.:flowerforyou:

    Don't say you don't have enoug time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. (Unknown)

    WOW
    That is a powerful thought.

    I'm a quote fanatic! In case it's not been apparent yet.:laugh:

    So glad so many of you have jumped in and joined up and shared as well...please continue...so many are inspiring, though provoking, often times exactly the one we need at the very moment we pop on!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    you guys ROCK big TIME:heart:

    Ditto about being a fanatic! I'm recording these to take home and write in my quote journal. It's a big thick journal where I record all my favorite quotes. I've been doing that for about 8 years. I have so many for every occasion. Might have to break that out and post my favorites here!!

    Why haven't I visited this thread before?:huh: I have been MISSING OUT!! :bigsmile:


    Here are a couple quotes I have posted at my desk:

    "Argue as though you are right and Listen as though you are wrong."
    Karl Weick



    "It's not that some people have willpower and some don't.
    It's that some people are ready to change and others are not."
    James Gordon, MD



    "Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort."
    John Ruskin




    And my favorite....

    "Sister, there were people who went to sleep last night,
    Poor and rich and white and black,
    But they will never wake again.
    And those dead folks would give anything at all for just
    five minutes of this weather or ten minutes of plowing.
    So you watch yourself about complaining.
    What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it.
    If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.    "
    Maya Angelou (quoting her grandmother)




    And another...
    "What's the world's greatest lie?" the boy asked, completely surprised.
    "It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie."
    From The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

    Always reach for the stars! Even if you don't get them, you won't end up with a handful of dirt.

    I'm selfish, impatient and insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control and at times am hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best.

    Marilyn Monroe



    Who knew Marilyn and I were so much alike?!?!?!

    Do not mistake my kindness for weakness,
    for I will not perceive your cruelness for strength.

    :laugh: I haven't heard that version before! I think the one I've heard is:

    Aim for the moon - at least if you miss, you will land among the stars.

    - Not sure who said this tho. :wink:
